Dataland, World's First AI Arts Museum, Opens in LA with Refik Anadol
On June 20, Dataland, the inaugural museum focused on AI-generated art, will debut at The Grand LA in downtown Los Angeles. Established by Refik Anadol and Efsun Erkılıç, it will launch with the exhibition "Machine Dreams: Rainforest," which presents multi-sensory AI renditions of the natural world. Meanwhile, Tuan Andrew Nguyen's 27-foot-tall sandstone Buddha sculpture, titled "The Light That Shines Through the Universe" (2026), is currently displayed on New York's High Line Plinth until fall 2027. Chanel is set to introduce its first Coco Beach pop-up in Shanghai, designed as a summer "holiday villa" for a month. Additionally, Kengo Kuma will unveil "Faces," a series of 16 handmade carpets, at Milan Design Week 2026. Pittsburgh's Arts Landing, a $31 million public art venue, opened its doors in April.
